This Week’s Games Now here’s something that hasn’t happened for a long time – the PSP is the console with the most new releases out this week. Three of them are worth a look too: Dissidia: Final Fantasy and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny have been getting glowing reviews while IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey (also …
This Week’s Games Batman: Arkham Asylum, then. Not only is it the best Batman game ever, but also one of the best games ever. The only bad word I’ve heard about it is that the boss battles are a bit dull. Will it be #1 next week? I would have thought so seeing there hasn’t …
This Week’s Games If we forget the rubbish like Sudoku Ball Detective on Wii and DS and Music Maker Rockstar on PlayStation 2 there is only one real game of note out this week – Wolfenstein on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The average review score on the ever helpful GameRankings is 79%. IGN said …
This Week’s Lame Games It’s a very poor week for new releases. How poor? Well, the most interesting thing out isn’t even a new game – it’s the cheapy cheap Grand Theft Auto Trilogy for the PlayStation 2. On all formats there’s the movie tie-in G-Force, which has nothing to do with the infamous anime …
This Week’s Games Wii Sports has become the best selling game ever, if only because it’s bundled with the Wii itself. Will Wii Sports Resort repeat its success? I doubt it, but it’s bound to do great things in the chart next week. Major Minors Majestic March is also out now on Wii. It’s from …
This Week’s Games There isn’t a great deal out this week, folks. Oxygen’s Hysteria Hospital: Emergency Ward is available on both DS and Wii and looks almost identical to Theme Hospital, which isn’t a bad thing. Oxygen don’t exactly have a good track record though, so maybe approach with caution. Only one for Xbox 360 …
This Week’s Games The summer is here! Or at least, it is if this week’s rather slim looking release list is to go by. If you can stomach the clichéd sci-fi setting then The Conduit on Wii might be up your alley. Reviews have been around the 7 mark. Unless you read EDGE, who gave …
This Week’s Games Two games out this week scream big sales at me: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. There aren’t many reviews of EA’s latest Potter efforts yet, but the pattern seems to be: console versions reasonable, handheld versions not. Needless to say, it looks like yet another …
This Week’s Games Is it Christmas already? With the amount of new games out today you’d think so – there are 12 new Wii games alone. The big multi-format ones though are Overlord 2, Fight Night Round 4, Transformers 2 and Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. The Wii gets Another Code: R and …
This Week’s Games It’s a bit odd that the first game to use the Wii MotionPlus is a third party title, but then again EA and Nintendo are on very good terms at the moment. The device on it’s own will set you back £19.99, or you can get it with EA Sports Grand Slam …
This Week’s Games THQ are full of surprises – Saints Row 2 was a decent alternative to GTA IV and if the reviews are to go by then Red Faction Guerrilla can hold its weight against any other FPS you care to mention. Codemaster’s Fuel – which looks a lot like Pure – is also …
This Week’s Games PlayStation 3-exclusive iNfamous, from Sly Racoon developers Sucker Punch, has been getting solid although not quite glowing reviews. GamesRadar gave it a 7, complaining that the city isn’t much fun to explore and that the last half of the game drags. They didn’t think much of Terminator Salvation either, giving it a …
This Week’s Games Up for a ruck? Well you’re in luck this week – Punch Out on Wii and UFC: Undisputed have both been getting good reviews, and are now out to buy. If punching virtual humans isn’t your thing and would rather harm dubious looking critters instead then there’s always Pokemon Platinum, a director’s …
This Week’s Games Slim pickings this week – there isn’t even a single new game out for PlayStation 3. Battlestations: Pacific on Xbox 360 (and PC) is the most prolific, and word has it that it isn’t too bad. Eurogamer gave it a 7, praising the AI and clever mission objectives. Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade …
This Week’s Games Dance mats went out of fashion years ago but somebody obviously forgot to tell Noridic Games. They’re releasing Dance Party: Club Hits and Dance Party: Pop Hits on PlayStation 2 and Wii this week, both available with or without a mat to boogie on. There are more interesting things out to spend …
